Thanks, Scott. From what we've seen so far, people seem to like it - which is what matters most. It was lots of fun this summer talking to folks about the various mods. But most importantly, we have some long-distance road trips planned for this coming summer. Maybe by then, the bug will be in the rear-view mirror, and we can relax and have some fun rubbing elbows with other car nuts.

The louver project is halfway done. The dies are finished, and I tested them on a piece of scrap aluminum. I plan to use the homemade English wheel that I was given by good buddy, Jonathon Cornell. I think I can remove the wheels and locate the dies, so they punch thru the aluminum sheet consistently. I'll post photos of the setup when I've sorted it out.
